In a past post we shared the results of a recent research study conducted at UpRight MRI in Deerfield, Illinois, a testing laboratory specializing in progressive laboratory methods, as Percussion Fitness measured the healing benefits of percussive massage therapy, testing the positive circulation effects caused by their anchor product, the BuffEnuff® Power Massager.

Developed by top Chiropractor Dr. Warren Bruhl along with Licensed Medical Massage Therapist Jason Auer-Sears and CrossFit Coach/Owner Jimmy Greninger, the BuffEnuff® Power Massager is a dynamic, high powered cordless percussion massager that delivers 3300 RPMs of powerful pain relief and oscillating healing movement to muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

Using proprietary healing techniques developed by Percussion Fitness founders, Dr. Bruhl and Auer -Sears, BuffEnuff® is the only cordless massager with a flat surface for expanded healing that delivers this unique massage action and has specific techniques for use.

For the study, a 20-year-old college athlete was photographed using a thermographic imaging camera in the lumbar, thoracic, and lower cervical regions. As well, images were taken of the quadriceps, calves, anterior and posterior shoulder, anterior elbow, and mid-abdominal area.

Treating one area at a time, a 3-minute treatment was provided using BuffEnuff® proprietary massage techniques including Wrapping®, Clearing®, Grounding®, Sparking®, and Squaring®. For the application, BuffEnuff’s Flat®, Tilt®, and Edge® methods were utilized.

In addition, comparison tests were performed on the quadriceps using rolling methods and the shoulder was tested using resistance bands, both for 3 minutes respectively.

Test results demonstrate a dramatic increase in blood flow as noted by the thermographic imaging showing increased red, white, and orange imaging. Moreover, the increase in blood flow was noted by researchers to continue for up to one-hour post-treatment with blood flow and color change returning to baseline.

Why circulation matters

Beyond relaxing muscles and helping you de-stress, when you’re looking for a massage recovery tool, it’s important to improve your blood flow as blood circulation is an important part of your body’s overall function and health. Blood circulation transports nutrients throughout the body, helps manage waste productions, improves muscle recovery after workouts, and accelerates healing.
